R nduring the heat, the class of ' 72 attended com- mencement exercises in the boys ' gym. Lack of space prevented the seniors from graduating in the auditori- um. The graduates, 57% originally from other schools, were given the op- portunity of putting Warwick or the name of former schools on the diplomas. Deciding against a guest speaker, class officers gave the welcome and invocation. The A Cappella Choir, singing Eternal Life , preceded the delivery of diplomas. National Honor Society members followed the se- nior president, vice- president, and SCA pres- ident in the presentation. The remainder of the class proceeded in alphabetical order. The band closed the hour-long ceremony with the Alma Mater. Tears of mixed emotions fill Becky Lewis ' eyes as she stands among her classmates following the graduation exercises. The graduates chose not to have a main speaker in order to shorten the program. 22 Undercurrents — Graduation
